How can I be postmodern, /lit/?
>>7878162
you gotta modernize then go beyond that I mean the word is self-explanatory.
>>7878162
You gotta be contrarian that's all
>>7878162
Find something or someone that was going on before you and call it modern
Unironic post-irony

Purple prose with no purpose.

just fuck your shit up.
It starts with your attitude. Your entire purpose of creating is a desire to "be a writer". You should spend a lot of time imagining people respecting and revering you for discovering a brand new way of writing a novel. "Wow, only someone as brilliant as anon could have thought this one up! Nobody has ever done anything like this before!"
Technically, just practice absurdism and non-linear narrative. Post-modernism is sales puff for idiots who don't understand art. Get a strong marketing team.

be so influenced by modernism that you unconsciously move beyond it in your work
Since time is cyclical, start writing like the greeks
wear small round black sunglasses
become introverted and call yourself a postmodernist
that's it
>>7878162
postmodernism is already done.
>>7878162
dont give a true or only meaning for your work, let people be able to interpret it for what they want-- everyone (including yourself) then has a different look at ur stuff.

This is postmodern, OP

neither absurdism or non-linear narratives are post-modern. they're barely modern
